5.1 About the Dell Networking S6000 Switch
The Dell Networking S6000 is a Layer 2 and Layer 3 top-of-row/end-of-rack Ethernet switch
designed for use in high-performance virtualized data centers. Two S6000 switches were used
as the spine switches in the test bed.
Deployment scenarios for the S6000 require a combination of high bandwidth and low latency:
Ethernet switch in traditional Ethernet and Layer 2 fabrics for virtual data centers
Aggregation switch for enterprise LAN serving mid-sized and large customers or handling
high-frequency financial trading, Web 2.0, big data and other heavy workload operations
Traditional Ethernet switch with redundant connections to 10 GbE rack and blade servers
The S6000 delivers high performance, 2.56 Tbps of switching I/O bandwidth in full duplex mode,
from a compact 1U form factor, which conserves rack space. The primary configuration is 32
ports of 40 GbE QSFP+. It also can be configured with 96 ports of 10 GbE and eight additional
ports of 40 GbE to provide a path for the migration of speed in the network core to 40 Gbps.
Layer 2 multi-path support via Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) is a key feature of the S6000. A
proprietary Layer 2 link aggregation protocol, VLT offers servers connected to different access
switches a redundant, load-balancing connection to the network core in a loop-free environment
that has benefits beyond that of Spanning Tree Protocol.
The S6000 also supports Multi-domain Virtual Link Trunking (mVLT), a proprietary Dell design
for multi-dimensional VLT that allows multiple VLT domains to be linked with a VLT LAG. VLT
and mVLT enables the S6000 to be positioned as core-aggregation layer and to serve as a Layer
2 top-of-rack core or aggregation switch as shown in
robust, multi-chassis lagging feature that permits the switch infrastructure to maintain high
availability even during chassis upgrade times.
